[@SROSELLI]

If you decide to revisit this elevator you will notice that the alarm bell was recently removed which I think that at some point that they determined that it was unnecessary to have a bell that loud hooked up to a freight elevator and possibly they received multiple complaints about it going off every time that the elevator is used and it also sounds like the fire alarm going off. Although I don't work at the king of prussia mall but that's what my opinion is on them removing the alarm bell.

i am looking forward to riding it. As I said in the TXT I just sent you, I will include the machine going up 1 floor as well...

[@dea41396returns]

@owenhinton yeah, I filmed it, and got stuck in it. It is in the Pavilion (former A&S/Strawbridge's), and is down the corridor between Borders and Eurocraft (former Golfdom) on 2, and between DSW Shoes and Nestology on 1. It is very hard/confusing to access on 3... Like I warned you before, DO NOT take the elevator to the 2nd floor, as you have a 95% chance of getting stuck. I wouldn't start it their either as it could get stuck as it answers your call...

The video is uploading. They told me I shouldn't use it if I am not handling freight. ALL of the doors to the service corridors in that mall are always open...

[@Ih8kone]

This was the sister to the former Abraham & Strauss stores at Short Hills and Willow Grove. Short Hills originally had an Otis (passenger), until it was modded by Schindler. However, the Willow Grove location had a Westinghouse, at least when it was Strawbridge's, because I remember that store when it was Strawbridge's (the Willow Grove location). Hence, this may have originally been a Westinghouse, unless the Westinghouse at the Willow Grove location was installed by Strawbridge's in 1988 when they moved in, which would have made it one of the last Westinghouses ever installed. We may never know for sure, unless we see Pennsylvania elevator records.

This be an OTIS. I have proof that Short Hills is, also A&S and opened the same year with a similar freight. The only reason that has OTIS doors and this has Courion is that OTIS doors stopped being made that year, sometime between Short Hills and here. you can put OTIS int he title BTW
